Even Muslims admit the Halal Certification Tax is a fraudulent impost! Here is a direct quote from an Islamic website: To put Halal labels on water bottles, cereal packets vegetable oil, sugar, flour, tooth paste etc. and for a person or church to dare certify them and declare oneself as God’s agent, is at least ‘playing minor God’. This action produces confusion, disharmony and division in the community of Muslims. Any action that causes difficulties and strife in the community is akin to shirk, (30-31,32)—sinful! Who then has nominated them as the certifying authority? Certainly not the Quran! The general non-Muslim community is entitled to protest at the additional invisible tax levied on them as customers, in terms of increased prices which it has to pay as a result of the increased cost that the manufacturing businesses have to fork out to the certifying bodies. They then pass on the additional cost to the customer! As a result one has to sympathize with the “Boycott Halal” movement. Why should the non-Muslims who had never been burdened with this additional tax on their consumables before now have to pay for other peoples’ religious requirement? “Call to boycott Halal food called a political stunt by Halal certifiers”. abc.net.au/news/2014-11-11/nrn-halal-certification/5881490. In addition when one realizes that the so called religious requirement has nothing to do with the faith that has its origin in Quran that all Muslims proclaim to be their book of belief, the felony is compounded. It is not wise to bring such simple Quranic ordinance in the murky waters of politics and to incite hatred and dissention in the nation as a whole for the sake of monetary gains: 2-79: …to trade with it for a miserable price! This also raises a further question. What is the guarantee that the Halal label on consumables is a protection against unhygienic manufacture of products, and that it can be trusted that they comply with the requirements of health requirements of the law of the land? It is inflicting self harm and causing difficulties for the community and disharmony in the nation unnecessarily by imposing unwelcome burden on all: newageislam/islamic-society/rashid-samnakay,-new-age-islam/the-murky-waters-of-halal-industry-and-its-labelling-income/d/100165
